1.3. What are the "OSU Archives"?
OSU-CIS is an Ohio State University computer system which holds a very large selection of UNIX-PC-related programs and files. David Brierley (dave@galaxia.network23.com) is the current maintainer of the archives. Ohio State graciously allows both anonymous FTP and UUCP access to this archive. For FTP from the Internet, access is via the machine archive.cis.ohio-state.edu (IP address: 128.146.8.52).
This is the URL for the OSU archives ftp access. <ftp://archive.cis.ohio-state.edu/pub/att7300/>
Dave Brierley has also now added www access to the UNIX-PC archives with this URL. <file://archive.cis.ohio-state.edu/pub/att7300/README.html>
They recommend the following L.sys (Systems) entries:
# # Direct Trailblazer # dead, dead, dead...sigh. for the 3rd time in as many months. # #osu-cis Any ACU 19200 1-614-292-5112 in:--in:--in: Uanon # # Direct V.32 (MNP 4) # dead, dead, dead...sigh. # #osu-cis Any ACU 9600 1-614-292-1153 in:--in:--in: Uanon # # Micom port selector, at 1200, 2400, or 9600 bps. # Replace ##'s below with 12, 24, or 96 (both speed and phone number). # Can't use MNP with V.32 on -3196 # osu-cis Any ACU ##00 1-614-292-31## "" \r\c Name? osu-cis nected \c GO \d\r\d\r\d\r\d\r\d\r\d\r\d\r in:--in:--in: Uanon
The file ~/att7300/README.Z contains a detailed list of the archive's contents and should be the first thing to get.
Another source of software for Internet-connected sites is the anonymous FTP area on ftp.cs.caltech.edu. Andy Fyfe (andy@cs.caltech.edu) maintains new versions of TeX and GNU utilities in the pub/3b1 directory.
[Ed. Note: As far as I know the archive at ftp.cs.caltech.edu for the 3b1 has been shut down, everything in the caltech archives is mirrored in the OSU archives in ~/pub/att7300/csvax ]
